Ontario is investing in the vitality and sustainability of francophone communities across the province through Programme Franco, a new francophone community grant program geared towards community groups, municipalities, and not-for-profit organizations.

Ontario, in partnership with the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law, is improving access to justice in French by establishing the province's first continuing professional development centre for Francophone legal professionals.

Ontario
and Quebec have signed a new cooperation agreement on French language and
culture in Canada, and have also announced a new pilot project for cultural
exchanges between 40 francophone and francophile youth in Quebec and Ontario.

Ontario has presented the town of Honfleur, France, with a commemorative plaque recognizing the historical, social, cultural and economic ties that link Ontario to France and marking 400 years of French presence in Ontario.
